CALL for ENTRIES: 52nd BAL Nat’l

a mixed bag of
GROCERIES

I loosely plan a weekly menu each week by making sure there are at least seven proteins, seven green vegetables and a handful of starches available in the kitchen. From those offerings, I try to make every week different. But, since the proteins are almost always a couple of versions of same pork, beef, chicken and/or fish, making 52 different menus a year is a stretch. And, I might add that there are only so many ways to prepare zucchini & broccoli. But this next Call is the 52nd time this Call has been offered, and I promise the result has been different each and every time. Maybe this is THE opportunity for you…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Beaumont Art League (Beaumont, TX) for the 2014 BAL National juried exhibition. This the 52nd consecutive year for this exhibit. This is their premier yearly exhibit. Take a look…

JUROR: Born in New York and educated at the acclaimed Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Vera Barnett moved to Texas in 1985. She began using pool toys as still life subjects, but felt a desire for more emotional and personal subjects. Her solution was to create her own models from sewn plastic. Barnett’s process yields paintings injected with emotions that are authentically human, yet fabricated through completely synthetic materials.

COOKIES, CANDY

oh my

I have dessert after every meal. There, I admit it. I have bre-ssert (usually fruit or chocolate BR-eakfast), le-ssert (often cookies or candy after L-unch), and dessert (cheesecake & chocolate torte are my favorites). Everyday. I’m not into self-deprivation, and I consider dessert a sort of punctuation after meal production.

MOUTH

I dislike the semantics of having an “open mind”. Doesn’t that, quite literally, mean that anything can go in and out? I don’t want that for my mind any more than I want that for my menu. I simply will not abide even a “devil’s advocate” argument on some subjects anymore because for me, wrong is wrong. I feel the same way about food. I’ve tried an impossibly large number of foods over the years. I will not even entertain the possibility of tasting some foods anymore. Grubs might be fantastic or even taste like my favorite stinky cheese, but I won’t be eating them, EVER. Call me closed-minded AND closed-mouthed in this respect. Luckily, this next show is wide open. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Spring Feature

COCOA
powder puff

I have always preferred chocolate in my stomach, not necessarily on my face–unless it got there on its way to my stomach. But as my journey toward a simpler life continues. I am fascinated by the foodstuffs that can be used for non-culinary purposes. I’ve used coconut oil on my hair and avocado on my skin for a long time. But did you know that you can use cocoa as a colorant in a food-based face powder. I’d put on weight if I had to breathe in the smell of cocoa all day. But, it will still make me look at what I wear on my face differently. Hopefully this next Call will make you look at faces a little differently too…

CALL for ENTRIES: Like a Tom Waits Song

sometimes an EGG
is more than an EGG

The creative are often food obsessed. I am not alone. Food is a common experience for us all, but I find that creative people tend to purposefully try to indulge all the senses at once–musicians, writers, dancers AND visual artists. So how perfect is this next Call that centers around a slightly food-obsessed musician. If you don’t know his work (Eggs & Sausage is one of my favorites, but Chocolate Jesus was infamously controversial), do your homework…you won’t be sorry.

Check out of this Call for Entries from the Arc Studios & Gallery (San Francisco, CA) for Like a Tom Waits Song. This is one of the most unique themes I have ever published. Fascinating…

Like a Tom Waits Song

This open call is for all artists who have found themselves deeply moved, enraptured, bemused or inspired by Tom Waits. Has his music ever transported you to a dusty desert town or an abandoned train yard or a glowing, gritty neon rainy city street filled with steam? Listening to his music do you come away from the experience with a flash of inspiration embodying his lyrics? Like Tom Waits, do you tell tall tales and spin yarns with your work?

The range of work includes paintings, works on paper, photography and sculpture.

AWARDS: A Juror’s Award ribbon and certificate will be presented to three works that express the most imaginative interpretation of the theme. There are two opportunities to get into this show.

DRIZZLE

My new ace-in-the-whole dish is for last minute parties and desserts is anything topped with chocolate glaze. 3/4 cup of dark chocolate chips melted with 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil. From cheesecake to strawberries, it works on everything. Warm, it is like velvet. Cold, it is a beautiful shell. Here’s hoping everything turns up aces for you with this next Call. Remember, nothing great happens unless you TRY. Investigate for yourself…

read to me of
FOOD

My mother loves to read. I grew up in a house full of books–including cook books. Maybe I’ll add one of my own cookbooks to her collection some day. One of my favorite cookbooks is The Vegetarian Epicure. The author, Anna Thomas once said, “We all eat, and it would be a sad waste of opportunity to eat badly.” That one statement changed my life and how I approach feeding both myself and my family. Books have a way of doing that, changing things, I mean. And, I would make the argument that food changes you as well, for better or worse, depending on your choices. This next Call give you a chance to change a life with a book. Investigate…

SALAD
anyone?

My frugality DOES know boundaries. The one thing I don’t do is public foraging. It isn’t that I am necessarily opposed to eating wild things, like dandelion greens. Actually, I’m all for it, to be honest. But I am fearful of things unknown that might be sprayed ONTO the wild things. I live on the boundary (within a 1/2 mile) of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, but since you cannot legally forage in any National Park, that doesn’t really help me find a safe place to forage. I suppose my wild things will be limited to art, for now–like this next Call. Take a look…

I still have a recipe box. Yep. When I find a recipe I love or make a masterpiece that warrants an official record, I write it down on an index card and stash it in my recipe box. Why do I feel like I just confessed to some horribly illicit activity? Well, if you still illicitly work with paper in some way, here’s a curated international open Call for works on paper.

Library Thoughts 4

Johann Gutenberg’s invention of movable type books ignited the explosion of art. These days the printed books that were previously published by publishers now can be read on line as ebooks.

What is the future?

Instead of having to interact with computers through not-so-intuitive and sometimes even counter intuitive devices like a computer mouse or track pad, soon users will be able to control their computers doing natural human movements such as gestures, whole-body movement, eye movement, and perhaps even such things as facial expressions.

Is it the end for books as we know them? Question the survival of paper, books, libraries in this digital age. The process of sending artworks through the mail, with the envelope, the stamp and the postmark as entire part of the mail-art-object make this process to what we call MailArt.

Editor’s Note: Once again, this is only Mail Art in the sense that most of the art will be mailed for the show. Unlike traditional Mail Art shows, any unsold work will be returned in December.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA: Artist books, works on or of paper may be any size, but MUST fit in a 9″ X 12″ (22.9X30.5cm) envelope. Unmated, unframed photography, drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, mixed media, cast or folded paper, multimedia or digital prints.

DEADLINE: March 31, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $35 for up to 3

Food shows have been almost banned on my home television.
